Female truck drivers are becoming TikTok’s biggest influencers.

Female truck drivers are becoming TikTok’s biggest influencers. TikTok has been taken over by various professions in the last year, but female truck drivers are the latest ones to go viral. According to the Women in Trucking survey, women made up more than 10% of over-the-road truck drivers in 2019—and 7.8% the year before. That proportion of women rises to 43.4% when factoring different kinds of drivers and non-executive transportation industry positions like technicians, driver managers, and dispatchers. The influx has been credited to the work that inclusive industry groups like Women in Trucking have been doing, which included a recent partnership with the Girl Scouts of America to introduce a “transportation badge.” Users like @sasssy.trucker, @asmindeloa, and @clarissarankin, who has one million followers, use the app to share the ups and downs of the job, motivational pep talks, and answer questions from followers.
